People in communists countries have the lowest birthrates in the world, by choice. They know what it is like to have no hope for a future. Why would they want to have children. Very sad.

Great for the people?
The ugly face of communism? ( as if there is a good face)
It's the least they can do?

You people crack me up!

How about - The one Child Policy is oppressive and inhumane?
How about - Communism IS an ugly face and this is only a small example of it?
How about - Why don't they shut up and quit oppressing people that want to have more than one child and drown their newborns in rice-paddies to avoid punishment?

How about_ China is a piece of crap, backward, communist, hell-hole and the people should rise up and place the Communist Party members' heads in a noose?
